INFANTS GOODS.

The babies need |
extensive wardrobes. We
make it a point to
have everything the newest
and the latest---in I
infants goods. OF course,
this necessitates
carrying a large stock, and
it would be utterly
impossible to attempt even
to catalogue, in one
advertisement, what this de-
partment contains.
We said in last nights Star
that a new invoice
of specialties had arrived.
Now, we just want
to describe one little dress.
1t is only one Of a !
large variety; but, tor the
money, we think it
comprises more value than
we have ever been /
able to offer in similar goods.
The entire dress is
made OF Oriental lace, with
a full undertakes
of cream lawn. The styles
what is known as
the "Gretchen," and the
front is finished in
cream-colored ribbons. Now
for this little dress
"a complete suit in itself
and all ready for
wear---we are able to name
sa=Ag as the price.
We realize that the above
imperfectly de-
scribes this positive beauty.
Call in and look at
it. You will pronounce it
an embodiment of
fine art. And the price !?
Such value was
never before offered at any
thing approach
ing the above figure.

Ohio BaOkPuDt,

A Columbus dispatch says: "Auditor of
State Kiesewetter has come to the rescue of
this brilliant reform administration and is
travelling about the state begging the various
county treasurers to keep the State from
bankruptcy by advancing little money
Cuyahoga county came to the front last Fri
day and advanced the State $50,000. On
Saturday $4,000 of the amount was drawn,
leaving only $9S,0OO in the treasury of the
great State of Ohio to-day. This amount
will last about two days longer and unless
Mr.. Kiesewetter can scrape up little more
money the State will stop payment this week.
Mr.. Kiesewetter, who is Democratic official,
is doing his best to protect the good name
and credit of the State, but finds is decidedly
uphill work after two years of Republican
rule. The last legislature foresaw the present
State of affairs but did not have the capacity
to apply remedy; in fact they did not have
the capacity to keep appropriations down to
the revenues, but appropriated about $780,
600 more than the total income for this year.
Such is the brilliant fnanciering of Gov.
Foraker's administration.

"a 1t seems that the Democratic party
has to contend with great many more
obstacles than their Republican predecessors
in Office. The Republicans never found any
difficulty with treasury SURPLUS" they
seemed to dispose of the money as fast as il
reached the treasury. The present surplus
should be decreased by tariff reduction
which will leave the present extortionate
taxes in the pockets of the people. If the
Republicans should happen to be placed in
power again the surplus question would no
longer bother u.s.

.B How is this, from that sterling Repub-
lican sheet, the Perrysburg Journal:
When we see the class of "Jim Grow" poll
ticians to whom our Statesmen" who are
conducting the affairs of State, look for the
fixing up of the slate, we can but shudder for
the welfare of our system of government
The news comes from the East frequently
that Jas. G. Blaine can carry the entire Irish
Catholic vote of New York. This leads to
the question, is it to be campaign of Church
and State? If the movements of Mr.. Blaine
in his visit to England and Ireland are cor
rectly reported it would appear that he is
working with a view to make the reports
from the Eastern States reality. So far
John Sherman is the only opponent on the
Republican side who has any show of defeat
ing Mr.. Blaine in the nominating conven-
tion. In case he should be successful in con-
vention and the election there will probably
never be greater cause for revolt in the
Republic. The government would then be
placed wholly at the mercy of the Shylocks,
and with Foster as Postmaster General all
opposition would soon be crushed out by the
manipulation of this department. Free speech
and free press would only livein the memory
of the past. The Cannibal Islands would be
far preferable country to live in.

~ Here is good one on Findlay as told
by the Cincinnati Telegram: A fellow en-
tered real estate office and asked the agent
how he'd like to trade town lots for farm
The agent was willing, called carriage and,
showing the farmer in, drove out several
miles, and pointing to corn field, said:
"There are the lots. How do you like them?"
The farmer replied: "They're pretty high
and dry, l like them pretty well, though"
The agent asked: "Where's your farm?"
"You can see it on your way back" said the
farmer, I'VE passed it awhile ago coming out

~ The results of the Virginia election
show Democratic gains sufficiently decided
to make it certain that the Democrats will
carry the State in the fall, and elect Sena-
tor to succeed Riddleberger. The victory is
distinctly an administration triumph
Everywhere the local contests were made to
turn on national arguments and the lines
were sharply drawn between those who sup
port and those who oppose the policy of the
President. The color line has evidently
broken down. In localities where negro
voters have heretofore been unanimously
Republican they voted the Democratic ticket
this year. This happy feature of the situa-
tion is largely due to the policy pursued by
General Fitz Hugh Lee in his canvass and
since his election as Governor.
